Went to the Orlando Gigantour show on Saturday and let me tell you it was one amazing show. Unfortunatly we got to the venue a little late and they started the show a half hour early so we missed Bobaflex, Dry Kill, and Symphony X. No biggie on the first two but I was pissed we missed Sym X. 
It's alright because I'm going to the Tampa show tonight and I will not miss them again!
If anyone is thinking about going to see this tour do yourself a favor and go. You can't beat the price for all these bands and if you like a bit of diversity in your music it's great. I actually enjoyed all of the bands. They all played on one stage. It was split in half until Fear Factory came on and then the whole stage was used by them DT and MD. I give a huge thumbs up to the road crew. Those guys were working thier asses off. Only about 10 minutes between bands while the stage was split. Just enough time to take a piss and get another round of drinks. It was sold out, but Hard rock only holds about 3000 people. Tonights show in Tampa was selling horrible as of last week. I wasn't even sure I was going to go because it's a Monday night. They marked down tickets around two weeks ago to 10 bucks for upper level. I went and picked one up last Thursday and all the tickets were marked down. I got a floor ticket, row 22 for $12.75 with tax and everything. I really hope they sold more between then and now or else it is going to be a pretty embarassing turn out for Tampa.
Anyway, great show. DT was the highlight, Megadeth was awesome as well. Daves vocals were kind of low in the mix, but overall a great performance. Dillenger was interesting to say the least. Nevermore rocked the place. FF were alot better than I thought they would be live. LOA even sounded good to me. Like I said, great show. I hope they do this again next year because I would definitely go. I'll check back in with the Tampa show highlights tomorrow.

The show was about 7 hours long and we were with some friends that aren't big metal-heads. There was plenty of headbanging going on...my neck still hurts! Met Russel Allen up there. Seemed like a nice guy and was shocked whenever anybody recognized him.
